Chapter 12 Knowledge and Skills
Jason looked at the paper, a hint of surprise on his face.
Paper is a letter of appointment.
It says about Jason –
Mr. Jason is hereby appointed as our Special Adviser for a period of three months, from August 14, 1871 to November 14, 1871.
Lord City Police Department
Hr1871.8.14
……
The handwriting is neat and formatted, with a red stamp at the end.
Undoubtedly, this has legal effect.
And that's where Jason was surprised.
How can a Bundy sheriff influence the Lord City Police Department?
You must know that although the sheriff is called differently, it is just the same rank as the sheriff.
However, Jason then remembered that the sheriff was also familiar with the 'Night Watch'.
And this is also not something that an ordinary sheriff can know.
It's clear that Bundy has a secret that makes a difference.
But Jason wouldn't delve into such a secret.
Everyone has secrets.
Bondi has.
He has it too.
Given the relationship between the two parties, a polite cooperation with each other is the best choice.
Peep?
That would only be counterproductive.
Thoughts flashed, and Jason looked at Bundy.
"What is this?"
He asked knowingly.
"Although the time is very short, but I recognize your ability, Jason, I think a short-term employment is not suitable for our current situation, long-term cooperation is a win-win situation."
"Of course, I'll settle the short-term employment expenses right away."
"The cost of long-term employment is 1.5 grams per week, and you can stay for free, use everything in this room, and choose to reimburse if you have additional expenses."
Bundy explained.
A newspaper is 1 copper horn, 4 copper horns are 1 copper gram, 22 copper grams are 1 silver gram, and 16 silver grams is 1 gold gram.
That is to say, 1 gold gram is equal to 1408 copper horns.
Although it is a cheap newspaper, it is still equivalent to the total number of mushrooms just bought.
Obviously, 1 copper horn also has good purchasing power.
Not to mention 1 gold gram.
And 1.5 grams a week is enough to show Bundy's sincerity.
Plus the free accommodation and kitchen, it's really nice.
He had absolutely no reason to refuse.
"Yes."
"But I want to get my first week's weekly salary now when I settle my employment expenses."
"And I want to get support in terms of weapons and equipment."
After a slight groan, Jason offered his own terms.
According to the so-called main quest, he will only stay here for seven days, and it will be difficult to have the opportunity to receive his weekly salary at that time, so it is better to pre-spend now to buy some necessary kitchen utensils and seasonings, he needs more kitchen utensils to cook food, and he is fed up with a single pepper and salt.
At the very least, let's have some potatoes and radishes when stewing meat, which is not too much to ask, right?
As for armament?
Jason never disliked more.
If it weren't for the conditions, he would be eager to carry two RPGs at any time.
"No problem."
As for Jason's offer, Bundy agreed without even thinking about it.
Because this was what he gave in order to repay Jason for saving his subordinates, and of course, as he said, he recognized Jason's ability.
A smile appeared on the serious face, and the sheriff held out an uninjured hand.
Jason raised his hand and shook his hand.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Then, Jason told Bundy everything he had in mind.
"The three-day interval will increase the power of those monsters?"
Suddenly, Bundy's expression became more solemn than ever.
As a sheriff involved, he really knew too well what the consequences would be if those monsters became stronger.
"It's just a guess."
"I can't say for sure at the moment."
Jason said truthfully.
"Is that so......"
"I see!"
"I'm going to step up my patrols!"
With that, Bundy was leaving, and even if it was just a guess, he wouldn't be careless.
"Wait!"
Jason stopped the other party in a hurry, and when the other party turned back in shock, Jason continued his other thought earlier: "Although those monsters are monsters, it is clear that they also need food and rest like most creatures. ”
"Jason, you mean ......"
Bundy's eyes lit up.
"Hmm!"
"Just as you think."
"If you want to house some monsters without being discovered by others, you have to be hidden, and that's hard to find. However, food doesn't happen in a vacuum, and the large amount of meat or vegetable trade is the most noteworthy, especially for those who have recently joined. ”
Jason nodded.
"Leave it to me!"
Bundy said and walked outside.
On the sheriff's face, an unprecedented excitement appeared.
He finally found some breakthroughs.
Or to be precise, in the beginning, in the face of these monsters, he was always affected by the biographical stories in his mind, so that he couldn't judge at all, let alone know where to start.
And now?
He finally found his rhythm.
Jason watched the confident other party leave, then turned around and returned to the room.
When the door was closed, he looked at the 'box of his own'.
Jason is quite curious about this extra box for no reason.
Naturally, Jason is not lacking in vigilance.
Such vigilance comes not only from the box itself, but also from the meaning of the box itself, such as whether this is a test of doubt about his identity, etc.
But at this stage, no.
The attitude shown by Bundy speaks for itself.
What if this is also a disguised temptation?
Jason also figured out how to deal with it.
Thankfully, Jason overthought it.
This was confirmed after he opened the box.
The box contained the same outfit as Jason's, a pair of leather shoes, and a black hunting hat.
In addition to these, Jason found a letter and a wallet in a pocket on the side of the box.
After checking that there was no problem, Jason opened the wallet first.
There are 1 gold gram 4 silver gram in the wallet, 11 copper gram and 2 copper horns.
"Windfall."
Jason said, picking up the letter.
After the same check, Jason opened the letter -
Dear Jason,
Long time no see, Jason, I hope you have successfully passed the 'grass' trial of the 'Night Watch', and that you are doing well, and that my life is not bad.
You know, I've been idle since I retired; I've heard recently that Lord is doing well, I'm here to take a look, and if you want to learn some knowledge and skills that really belong to the 'Night Watch', you can come here to me.
I am temporarily living at 17 Harlan Street.
- Always love your teacher, Dan

……
"Teacher?"
"The knowledge and skills that really belong to the 'Night Watch'?"
Whispering to himself, Jason's eyes lit up.
